First Day of School – September 8, 2026

We are looking forward to welcoming all our students, new and returning, to QMS on Tuesday, September 8, 2026.

The new middle school start time is 8:34 a.m. (not 8:36 a.m.), while the first bell will remain at 8:31 a.m.  Students who arrive early to school may wait outside, or they may come into the building through the side entrance only (by the MPR/Gym) and gather in the hallway until the bell rings. The warning bell will ring at 8:31 a.m. and classes will begin at 8:34 a.m., with the school day ending at 3 p.m.

On Tuesday, September 8, Grade 5-7 students will be at school from 8:34-9:34 a.m., while Grade 8 students will be dismissed at 11:55 a.m. When the bell rings at 8:34 a.m., all Grade 5 students will go directly to the Gym, all Grade 8 students will gather on the soccer field, Grade 6 & 7 students will go to their last year’s classrooms, and any new Grade 6 & 7 students will go to the Multi-Purpose Room (MPR).

Below is the schedule for Tuesday, September 8 (8:34 a.m.):

  • All Grade 8 students (both returning and new students) will meet on the grass field.
  • All Grade 6 and 7 students will meet with their last year’s teacher.
    • Div. 5 – Room 206 – Mr. Villeneuve

All Grade 5 students from QE (registered) will meet in the gym.

When Grade 5 to 7 students are dismissed (at 9:34 a.m.), they are asked to go home, as there are still grade 8 classes in session.

On Wednesday, September 9 all students will be attending for the full day. Please make sure that your child brings their snacks, lunch, water bottle and school supplies with them.

On Wednesday, Grade 8 students will go directly to their new classrooms, while all Grade 6 and 7 students will again meet with their last year’s teachers, and all Grade 5 students will meet in the gym.
